Clinical research is fundamental to the translation of new medical discoveries into new treatment options for the clinic. Raising awareness of clinical research through education and discussion tools such as this will help ensure a healthy clinical research industry, bringing ongoing and early access of new treatments to patients, and career alternatives for those with an interest in contributing to better health in the future

As you might expect, many would consider this a contentious issue, and one that has been previously discussed on this blog. I thought you might be interested in the responses to this article on Medscape.http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/564261?src=mpYou'll need to log-in to the website, but at least that is free!

About Me

From the lab to clinical research, my career has meandered ever closer to the consumers that benefit from scientific endeavours. My latest passion is bringing clinical research out into the open, demystifying the process for consumers and research professionals alike. With greater understanding, comes less fear and increased participation, which will help solidify our ongoing early access to new potential medical treatments in the future.
